Making Chocolate

Our journey starts with careful selection and study of raw cacao beans to define the type of roasting.A process which releases the aromas and taste of each bean. Then, imagine a recipe it’s like writing a story… Once the alchemic formula is developed the granite wheels of the chocolate conch go on for 36 hours. After takes over the magic process called “Tempering” which forms the final texture. Every chocolate bar creates a special experience and is treated individually to preserve the energy of cacao. Ultimately the bars are hand-packed and sealed for maintain the taste. All our chocolates are covered by a recyclable paper and placed into a biodegradable bag made from wood pulp as a respect to mother nature.
